A slight inconsistency with Voyager logic is that the Doctor’s mobile emitter seems to disappear when the Doctor is deactivated. That seems to suggest the emitter is holographic itself. But what emits the emitter?

Tuvok: Ensign Kim, your dedication to your duties is truly impressive. I must admit, I find myself looking forward to our conversations more than I expected.

Harry Kim: Thanks, Tuvok. Your guidance means a lot to me. There’s something about our talks that feels different. It’s like we’re on the same wavelength.

Tuvok: Indeed, Harry. I sense a connection between us that goes beyond our roles on this ship. It’s a puzzle that intrigues me.

Harry Kim: I feel it too, Tuvok. It’s like we have this unspoken understanding that’s hard to put into words. I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately.

Tuvok: Perhaps it’s time we acknowledge this connection and explore it further. How about we have dinner in the astrometrics lab tomorrow evening?

Harry Kim: I’d love that, Tuvok. I’ve been hoping for a chance to get to know you better outside of work. Tomorrow evening sounds perfect.

Tuvok: Excellent. I’m looking forward to it, Harry. The idea of spending more time together and unraveling this mysterious bond between us is quite appealing.

(They share a smile, their unspoken feelings now out in the open, as they finalize plans for their upcoming date in the secluded corner of the lower decks of the USS Voyager.)

Crew romance doesn’t play a big role in Voyager tbh, gay or not. The only proper relationship we see fleshed out is between B’Elanna and Tom Paris. We hear about Tuvok’s wife, Janeway’s fiance, and whatever that is between Seven and Chakotay.

It will be interesting to see Harry dating men but I don’t see a pairing on the bridge.

It depends on what you’re wiping off. If it’s for drying yourself after a shower, then I’d just use my big bath towel to dry every part of my body since they should all be clean by that point. I sometimes use an extra towel for my hair since I have long hair and it needs some extra fabric to help dry out.

For how much he says “funny” in this, the series wasn’t very funny.

Nothing new really. A series producer asks fans to watch his show.

PIC was always meant to be a three-season series, and DIS is the first show of the Kurtzman era to air, so it makes sense its the first one to end to make way for new shows. Dropping PRO from Paramount+ before season 2 is surprising though.

Disinformation. BRICS and ASEAN are not ditching the dollar and definitely not this year. ASEAN agreed to promote local currencies and reduce reliance on the US dollar, not to ditch it.¹ BRICS is definitely not ditching the dollar as well. There was no consensus in the BRICS summit. Brazil wanted a common BRICS currency, Russia, China and South Africa wanted to promote local currencies instead, and India is less enthusiastic about dethroning the dollar.²

EDIT: forgot the footnote

Content creator is also a dumb term. Everything is content. We have filmmakers for people who make videos, vloggers for more casual ones, streamers for live video. Writers and bloggers are better words than “content creator”

How does your native tea taste?

I just learned what had become of two franchises I loved, Rollercoaster tycoon and Simcity. It seems to me that they have been leeching off classic and successful IPs, filling them with microtransactions and making cheap idle games for profit.

I don’t, so I don’t pretend to. I proudly say I don’t know when I don’t know things.

You just made this up. Unless you know what goes on behind the scenes with the decision to honor Hunka, which you don’t seem to, then I suggest you don’t pull stuff out of your ass. Are you even Canadian? You know that the conservatives are literally called the Liberal Party right?

But thousands of years of use in practice, so that says something.

Could be placebo

Not everyone has that choice. Living where you live prevents upward mobility.

Total money grab.

These are just horrible. Attempts at dry humor without being smart. I feel embarrassed for the writers.

You mean other people don’t wipe after they use the bidet and let poop-laced water drip down their butts?

Hope she gets some much needed mental health support in prison

Personally I never shower.
